These are the 22 channel water resistant, up to 7 mile range guys, not the puny .5 watt 2 mile range guys from last year. As a bonus, they work with all the old ones too. Just figured I would let you know.

Beware of what appears as a great deal. A recent newspaper article tested several GMRS 7 mile range radios (Motorola and Cobra included) and found that they didn't pan out to its extra range. In other words, they didn't do any better than the 5 mile range ones.

Prices for 5 mile range GMRS have come down a lot and cost a lot less than the 2 mile range Cobra which I bought a year ago. I'd stick to Motorola and Cobras, though. Just my 2 cents worth.
